Which means, naturally, at much higher highway speeds they will run out of breath quicker than the long legged cruisers like the US spec 300SEL variants that have "lazier" or "economy" rear ends.

The 280 and 300SEL have the same gears. 3.46 for both. They only run out of breath past 120 + mph. That's when they run out of revs.
